Hysteria is a collaboration between Visual Artist Louise Kerr and myself. This is the first film I worked on with Louise and since the creating of this work we have developed two further short films. Hysteria explores the confinement of a woman restrained by oppression, anxiety and metal distress. All films are part of an installation which will be showing at Duncan and Jordonstone Art School, Dundee.From the 22nd to 29th of May 2010
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
- Katharin Cooper
- I am movement artist who over the past five years being working in both London and Scotland, at present I am finishing off my studies completing my BA in Dance at the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, Dundee, form this I will be going on to study Dance Movement Psychotherapy this September 2010. As a dance artist I am interested in cultivating poetic movement through installation, collaboration and explorations. From my choreography, teaching practice and performance work I look to explore sensitivity and awareness of external and internal landscapes and embodiment of our surrounding environments through human experience.I am interested in uncoventual performance settings. My artistic practice also explores sound ecology and field recordings, which has became a key aspect to my chorographic process along side live performance and film. As a choreographer I am inspired by mix discipline arts, collaboration and diverse performance. I am interested in exploring the multiplicity of the changing selves in an ever-changing environment and how this embodied engagement with landscape and the external world can support therapeutic artistic development.
